Go to the “Advanced Setup” tab and make sure that the “Cookie Path” input field has a value. If not then add “/” to the field and push the “Save” button.

If you have a load balancer in front of your nodes and this node balancer performs a status check on your nodes then you need to exclude this path from sso.

For example, my load balancer queries the /status endpoint from my Jira instance. To add an exception go to manage apps -> Global SSO settings and enter “/status;” in the “Exclude paths” input field:
